Please come hack on hy!
Please come hang out with us on ``#hy`` on ``irc.freenode.net``!
Please talk about it on Twitter with the ``#hy`` hashtag!
Please blog about it!
Please don't spraypaint it on your neighbor's fence (without asking nicely)!
Hack!
=====
Do this:
1. create a `virtual environment
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_::
$ virtualenv venv
and activate it::
$ . venv/bin/activate
or use `virtualenvwrapper <http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#introduction>`_
to create and manage your virtual environment::
$ mkvirtualenv hy
$ workon hy
2. get the source code::
$ git clone https://github.com/hylang/hy.git
or use your fork::
$ git clone git@github.com:<YOUR_USERNAME>/hy.git
3. install for hacking::
$ cd hy/
$ pip install -e .
4. install other develop-y requirements::
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
5. do awesome things; make someone shriek in delight/disgust at what
you have wrought.
Test!
=====
Tests are located in ``tests/``. We use `nose
<https://nose.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_.
To run the tests::
$ nosetests
Write tests---tests are good!
Also, it is good to run the tests for all the platforms supported and for pep8 compliant code.
You can do so by running tox::
$ tox
Document!
=========
Documentation is located in ``docs/``. We use `Sphinx
<http://sphinx-doc.org/>`_.
To build the docs in HTML::
$ cd docs
$ make html
Write docs---docs are good! Even this doc!
Core Development Rules
======================
All incoming changes need to be acked by 2 different members of Hylang's
core team. Additional review is clearly welcome, but we need a minimum of
2 signoffs for any change.
If a core member is sending in a PR, please find 2 core members that don't
include the PR submitter. The idea here is that one can work with the PR
author, and a second acks the entire change set.
If the change is adding documentation, feel free to just merge after one
ACK. We've got low coverage, so it'd be great to keep that barrier low.
Core Team
=========
Core development team of hy consists of following developers.
